Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and we apologize for the inconvenience.
The message “Blocked by robots.txt” means that Google has found some pages on your website that are blocked by a file called robots.txt. This file tells Google which pages it can or cannot crawl and index.
Sometimes, you might want to block certain pages from Google, such as private or duplicate pages, to prevent them from showing up in search results. In that case, blocking by robots.txt is not an issue. It is a way of controlling what Google sees and displays about your website.
However, sometimes you might accidentally block some pages that you actually want Google to crawl and index. For example, you might have some important pages that contain keywords or content that are relevant to your website’s topic or purpose. In that case, blocking by robots.txt is an issue. It can affect your website’s SEO performance and ranking.
To fix this issue, you need to check your robots.txt file and make sure that you are not blocking any pages that you want Google to index. You can use Google Search Console to find out which pages are blocked and why. You can also use a robots.txt tester tool to check if your file is working correctly.
We hope this helps you understand the meaning and message. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know. We’re always here to help you.
Thank you for using Rank Math!
